Italian sandwich
Kaytlyn G.

Didn't know what I wanted but the guy at the counter was nice enough to recommend a sandwich and boy was he right this is the best Italian sandwich I've ever had!

Very awesome place to go to get a good pie! The taste and sauce are MMn good! So with that said, will you try this and enjoy!

First off the manager was a really cool dude, introduced himself to me was curious why I chose this place to eat pizza, super kind and friendly I can see that they care about what customers think of their pizza so that's a plus....well the pizza was very good! Half Margharitta Pizza half Formaggio Combo both delicious! The crust super thin pizza, the pizza sauce different than I've had very tasty! I can also taste some garlic on the crust I believe really good stuff! The buffalo wings definitely a a great choice, try them paired with their homemade ranch was perfect! Super clean inside. If I'm ever in the area again I will be back Forsure! Thank you!

#THANKYOUTHURSDAY Nothing beats a local, small business owner who is cranking out phenomenal, artesian-style pizzas! Can you say YUM! I have been hearing great things about Formaggio Pizza Express located across from Target in the El Dorado Hills Town Center. As well as reading some awesome Yelp reviews including two from fellow Yelp friends Joe Y. and Lillian W. (Both of them can be pretty picky about his/her food:). So I finally had to try it for myself. And, wow, I am sure glad I did! Because i was in the area, I popped in about 3 p.m., last week. Decided to order in person for pick up later that evening and to check things out. Steve was manning the counter. I soon discovered he is the owner too. Nice guy! He was more than happy to share some details about the business. He has been open for a about a year and hires a lot of family members to maintain overall high standards. And his standards include using the highest quality ingredients possible. His delivery range is approximately 4 to 5 miles but if someone is really insistent he may stretch it to 6 or 7 miles. I love how passionate he is about his restaurant! I ordered a 14-inch vegetarian doing half one type of veg and half the other! Not your typical veg either! Unique toppings for sure. Menu board photos included so you may read the pizza offerings and other food/beverage choices. I wanted a 5:15 p.m. pick up and that was not a problem! It was also nice to receive a text when my pizza was ready. Cool! (Btw: Online and phone ordering available.) Bottom line: GREAT pizza! Fresh, hot, perfect crust and a generous amount of toppings! Not a slice was left! Steve has created an affordable take out or delivery, awesome high quality food niche much needed in our area. And for that I am grateful. He also offers a 10% Yelp check-in discount. Woohoo! Stop by and say hi to Steve and experience some really top-notch pizza AND service! As well as that generous "thank you" discount too! Welcome to the hood Steve! Will definitely see you soon.

Cheesy breadsticks. Couldn't get a photo before the kids in the household dug in haha.

I've ordered here for delivery a couple of times now, and I've been happy with their service. By far, my favorite item I've gotten from them is their margherita pizza! I love the whole slices of thin tomato, and they top it with dried Italian herbs, it's so yummy! The ranch here seems to be made in-house, I'm a fan of it. I always order a cheese pizza when I order here, and the cheesy breadsticks, both of which I find to be pretty standard. I actually find the breadsticks to be on the plain, drier side but they're a big hit for the kids in the household. If you're a fan of margherita pizzas, definitely try Formaggio's take on it! Eventually I do want to try their Armenian combo, since that seems to be another popular pizza of theirs and something else from their starters, probably jalapeno poppers.

Solid 4.5 really... maybe a little bit more dressings with the salads... they are large!! But tasty…read moreand super fresh! We did the Pete's Steakhouse salad, lots of toppings and you can order the steak cooked to your preference and it's not skimpy. The Buffalo Chicken salad was well spices and great for toppings, fresh! For the kids - Buffalo Chicken Sandwich was good, chicken is tender and sauce is great. Maybe a little less slaw per my kiddo but he is a kiddo..!! Pete's Brewhouse Burger, was cooked well... juicy and ample sized... fries with both and they are too notch, fresh, hot, decent portions. And a small build your own pizza! The pizza dough tastes fresh, medium thick, and good number of toppings too. Service was attentive and patient with indecisive child. Accurate about timing so we knew we would be out in time for our movie. Waitress checked back in on us several times but didn't hover and let us add to order later when one kiddo couldn't figure it out - thanks for that! Ambiance is nice. Quiet enough, music playing old songs that are familiar. TVs with captions that aren't overwhelming. The restaurant is clean and well lit but not overly bright. Like the vibe. Came here for relaxed birthday, it fit what we wanted!! Thanks!!

We were seated and was told that they weren't a full bar, only served beer and wine. The server stated that their other locations have full bars.. I don't get why one place doesn't I will never know. The ambiance was cute for the location I will say. I ordered the All American Burger, asked for it rare to med rare but stated I wanted it pink, the server said "you got it!" My burger was medium, no pink but I was starving so I ate it anyways. For a $21 burger, it was so not worth it. It wasn't worth it for us to eat there too.. Will I come back again, probably not...

A gentleman greeted me and mentioned that I was a little early and that they were just finishing up my order, which would be ready at 12. No problem at all, so I waited. However, I started noticing orders coming out for people who had walked in and ordered after me. By 12:10, I still didn't have my order and around 12:20, the gentleman came over and apologized, saying he wasn't sure how they had missed my order but that they were still working on it. That was frustrating because when I first walked in, I was told they were already finishing up my order. I specifically scheduled my pickup a day ahead, so I expected it to be ready around the scheduled time. I didn't end up receiving my order until 12:26 PM almost 30 minutes after my pickup time. At the very least, I feel like they could have offered some type of compensation for the wait, especially since the order had somehow been missed. Unfortunately, nothing was offered and the whole situation left me pretty disappointed. Now, I will give credit where it's due.. the pizza was SUPER delicious! The slices are huge and definitely give you that New York style pizza feel. The ranch was also creamy and really good. I genuinely enjoyed the food, which is why I'm torn about my experience. The food itself was great, but because of how poorly the scheduled pickup was handled, I'm not sure how I feel about coming back or placing another scheduled order.

Was craving Italian food and we love coming to this plaza, so we decided to give this place a try…read more We made a reservation, but when we walked in it wasn't nearly as busy as I thought it would be. The staff were super friendly and professional from the start, and the restaurant itself is really nice inside. The dim lighting gives it a cozy dinner vibe, and it was cool being able to watch them make and stretch the dough through the kitchen windows. We ordered a variety of dishes to share, so we got to try a little bit of everything. The focaccia came out thick and fluffy with olive oil and balsamic for dipping, which was a nice start. The bone marrow presentation was interesting and came with beef tartare and chips which were super appetizing. The light chips were very light which I enjoyed. The meatballs were HUGE and covered in sauce and plenty of cheese, but flavor wise they were just okay for me. One of the meatballs was super burnt and dry. We also tried a few pastas, including the carbonara and some of the red sauce pastas. They looked great and definitely didn't hold back on the cheese, but overall the pasta wasn't anything I'd say was to die for. It was good, just nothing that really stood out. The pizza was probably one of the better things we ordered the crust was nicely charred and fluffy, there were plenty of toppings, and I'm glad they weren't stingy with the ranch. Overall, I'd give it 3 stars. Nothing was necessarily bad, and the service and atmosphere were both great, but for the food and prices I was expecting a little more of a wow factor. We had a nice dinner and enjoyed trying everything, but is this somewhere I'd randomly start craving and have to come back to? Probably not. Still worth trying at least once if you're already in the area and in the mood for Italian.

My friends and I first came across this place on my birthday back in November. We were staying at…read morethe hotel next door and decided to give it a try, and we actually really enjoyed it. Since then, we've made it a little tradition to come back here for each other's birthdays, which says a lot about how much we enjoy the place. The only thing I'm not a huge fan of is that you have to order as soon as you walk in. It can feel a little rushed, especially when you're standing right in the middle of the walkway trying to figure out what everyone wants. We ended up deciding to sit outside, and the scenery was beautiful and made for a really nice atmosphere. The service wasn't bad, but it also wasn't the best. We were probably checked on only once during our visit, so there was definitely room for improvement in that area. However, the food was good and that's what keeps bringing us back. I definitely recommend the Buffalo Chicken Pizza without the bacon. It's one of my favorites! The prices are a little on the higher side, but considering the size of the pizza and the portions you get, I think it's definitely worth it. Overall, it's become one of our birthday traditions, and we'll definitely keep coming back.

They also have a rewards program, which is a nice little incentive.

What a FUN place to have some great pizza, sip some delicious wine, and be waited on by the best…read morestaff ever! I had been hearing buzz about Wally's Pizza Bar for sometime. As well as reading Yelp reviews. Finding myself in Cameron Park with food on my mind, I thought of Wally's. Why not! My GF made an exit off Highway 50 and voilà, there it was a block down the street. Not the small, intimate pizza place I expected. I don't even know where that thought came from. It is huge... really huge! The second we walked through the door, it was obvious everyone was having fun. Nice! We were greeted immediately and given our choice of where was left to sit. It was packed. We chose a cool table for two slightly elevated facing the entire 2/3 front of the restaurant (where we had entered.). And we immediately noticed all the tvs positioned on the perimeter of the walls interior. It was evening and lights were dimmed perfectly. Whatta great view of "everything, everyone and everywhere". Sweet waitperson arrives immediately and takes drink orders. I love a business that takes your alcohol needs seriously!:) We ordered a BBQ chicken pizza. (A perfect recreation of my favorite pizza from Base Camp Pizza in Tahoe... read my review LOL.) Oh my... so much to choose from! Check out my menu pics! The food/wine was a 10! I had a great pinot. So a big high five from me. The pizza was phenomenal and piece by piece it disappeared during our conversation and frivolity. Four thumbs up! Oh... there's more. They do weekend breakfast and brunch! I want that. Check out that menu photo too. So... in conclusion I highly recommend Wallys Pizza Bar for a good time. The bar, btw, was located behind us so not in our view. But it was packed. And with their own set of big screens! Family friendly and big parking lot. Trust me... I will be back. Thanks, Chef!

We had a classic margarita pizza, spinach & artichoke dip, chicken and waffles and berry French toast. I wanted to love the berry and French toast, it was more of French toast (grilled/ not soaked & traditional) (dryer side). The chicken and waffles were pretty good. We enjoyed the pizza. We would have loved the spinach and artichoke dip, it was a little salty for us. However, we typically take it easy on the salt. I would still recommend to try it. The inside has a relaxed fun vibe. The service was great.
